The correct Kickstarter web address:

Sorry for the mistake!
There are new works for clarinet at Ed's website, including Books III and IV
of Folk Songs and Dances for Three Clarinets. (You may have heard the
Chicago Trio performing book I at the ClarinetFest in Texas or the Clarinet
Symposium at the University of Oklahoma this summer.)

PREVIOUS MESSAGE
I am writing to tell you about new recordings of my husband Edward Marcus'
compositions. They are performed by clarinetist Janet Greene and other fine
musicians, including regular members of the St. Paul Chamber Orchestra, the
Minnesota Orchestra, and the Minnesota Opera Orchestra.
If you are not familiar with Ed's music, you can check it out at:
http://www.kickstarter.com/e/msOym/projects/605348340/the-lyrical-contemporary-clarinet-music-by-edward-0
(CORRECTED)
There is a video featuring samples from the recording sessions. You can
hear more music at Ed's website:
http://sites.google.com/site/edwardmarcusmusic .
Navona Recordings, a subsidiary of PARMA, is a major label that is offering
us professional production of the disk and marketing worldwide via Naxos.
Having the disk associated with a major label opens up opportunities for
critical review and radio play not otherwise available, and we are very
excited.
Nearly all recordings of emerging composers' music produced today require an
investment from the artist. We are using kickstarter.com for assistance.
This is a fascinating site where artists post projects they hope to fund.
The artist provides information and specifies a financial goal to be met
within a specified time period. If that goal is met with pledges, the
donors' credit cards are charged and the artist receives the funds. If the
pledge goal is not met, no money changes hands.
There are two ways to help, and each is equally important to our success:
1. Please let others who may be interested know about our fundraising
efforts on Kickstarter. Pass along the information to those you think would
be interested with email or even a link on your Facebook page or other
online networking site. The more people hear about it, the better. The
CORRECT link is
http://www.kickstarter.com/e/msOym/projects/605348340/the-lyrical-contemporary-clarinet-music-by-edward-0
(Corrected)
2. Visit
http://www.kickstarter.com/e/msOym/projects/605348340/the-lyrical-contemporary-clarinet-music-by-edward-0
(Corrected)
and, if you feel so inclined, make a donation of any amount. Lots of people
donate $5 or even $1 to Kickstarter projects, and every donation is deeply
appreciated. That's why "the more people hear about it, the better." A
large number of very modest donations can put us over the top
There are many creative and productive people on Kickstarter looking for
ordinary individuals to become patrons of the arts. It's a fascinating
site. Enjoy it, and thanks!
